„  OLUMBUS  opened  first  his  eyes 
Beneath  the  clear  Italian  «kies, 
And  not  an  infant  round  about 
The  country  wide,  like  him  could  uhout. 
When  deafened  by  his  blustering  yell. 
Thus  nervous  people  would  fortell : 
"A  bawling  boatswain  he  will  be, 
To  sund  outroaring  wind  and  sea." 

His  humble  sire,  through  summer's  hea 
And  winter's  cold,  made  both  ends  meet 
By  carding  wool  and  weaving  shawls, 
Or  catching  fish  for  market  stalls. 
For  when  the  weaving^trade  was  slack 
He  cruised  around  upon  a  smack, 
And  cast  his  hook  for  bass  and  sk«e, 
Or  whatsoever  tackled  bait. 


Hew  Ctlumbui  Found  Amenta. 


^nA  ancient,  vague  traditions  say, 
Columbus,  on  his  natal  day, 


When  laid  upon  the  balance  plate, 
Weighed  ten  pounds,  less  a  pennyweight 

And  while  a  tiny  babe  in  ar.ns, 
For  him  the  roaring  deep  had  charms. 
He  loved  to  see  the  shipping  tall. 
And  sailors  through  the  rigging  crawl ; 


He  even  laughed  and  crowed  in  glee, 
Before  a  painted  ship  and  sea. 


He  proved  his  courage  in  that  hour, 

And  took  the  great  baptismal  shower 

In  open  mouth,  in  tyes  and  nose, 

And  ciapp'd  his  hands,  and  worked  his  toei, 

And  only  seemed  inclined  to  shout 

When  the  supply  on  hand  gave  0u,\

/fo7e>  Columbus  Found  AmeHcet. 

As  up  through  boyhood's  days  he  pass'd, 
His  native  tact  developed  fast; 


With  futile  care  his  mother  tried 
Her  jar  of  jam  to  safely  hide; 
In  vain  the  hens  would  steal  away, 
Their  eggs  in  hidden  nests  to  lay, 


The  young  discoverer  would  sail 
Directly  there,  and  never  fail.

Arriving  at  conclusions  clear, 
Removing  every  clogging  doubt  . 
And  wiping  old  impressions  out, 
Until  he  was  prepared  and  fix'd, 
To  prove  geography  was  mix'd; 


Then  started  forth  at  once  to  bring 
His  project  fair  before  the  King.

How  Columbus  Found  Anurica, 

Th«  King  was  shock'd,  yet  pleased  withal, 
For  Portugal  was  rather  small, 
And  hardly  gave  him  root*  to  swing 
His  scepter,  as  became  a  King. 


But  when  the  summon'd  Council  view'd 
The  maps  and  charts,  they  all  porhifa»oh'd ; 
rhey  urged  the  King  to  curb  hi«  prpe, 
And  thus  to  crush  Columbus  tried ; 
"  If,  as  you  argue,  earth  is  round. 
Which  much  we  doubt  is  logic  sound, 
When  sailing  forth  adown  the  seas 
Your  ship  will  navigate  with  ease ; 
But,  when  you  try  another  tack 
And  wish  to  steer  the  vessel  back, 
How  can  you  think  the  sails  will  fill 
Enough  to  drive  your  ship  i  p  hill?  "

/ 1  this  the  Council  was  enraged. 
And  war  upon  Columbus  waged. 


To  seize  him  was  their  first  desire, 
To  boost  him  out  they  next  aspire. 

» 

The  King  himself,  though  old  and  lame 
A  hand  took  also  in  the  game. 


Columbus  fought,  but,  ne'ertheless. 
They  crowned  their  efforts  with  success.

And  sprang  aloft  to  shorten  sail ; 
But  ere  his  flying  jib  was  furl'd,  ^ 
The  ship  against  a  rock  was  hurl'd. 


Small  choice  remained ,  one  thing  of  two, 
To  drop  the  line,  or  else  pursue ! 
To  do  the  former  was  to  lose 
The  only  lead  thejrhad  to  use; 
The  latter,  and  more  daring  plan, 
Was  more  in  keepini  with  the  man.

So  overboard  into  the  te*, 

Still  clinging  to  the  line,  went  he; 


Some  forward  ran  and  some  ran  aft,  ^ 

Some  wrung  their  hands,  while  others  laugh  i. 
Indeed  it  was  a  comic  sight 
To  see  him  cling  with  all  his  might, 


Through  scattered  spray  and  dashing  wave, 
Determined  still  his  lead  to  save.

Then  sailors  waking  from  their  trance,

Hmo  Columbus  Found  America. 


With  bag  and  baggage  soon  they  start 
For  home  and  friends  with  lightsome  heart, 


The  Dutchman  with  a  load  oppress'd 
In  acti\  e  service  with  the  rest. 
Before  a  strong  at»d  favoring  gale, 
The  vessel  planged  with  straining  sail; 


While  days  seemed  weeks,  and  hours  days, 
Until  ou  native  land  they'd  gaze.

Mffto  Columbus  Found  Atturkm. 

But  safe  and  sound,  the  sturdy  ship 
Soon  measured  back  her  lengthy  trip ;

Atd  people  from  dl  quarters  ran 
To  welcome  home  the  daring  man. 
The  priest  and  beggar  on  that  day 
Disputed  o'er  the  right  of  way. 


And  peer  and  peasant  did  contend 
Who  first  should  hand  to  him  extend.

When  every  sailor  reached  the  land, 
And  all  the  treasurea  were  in  hand, 


A  long  procesiion  mwched  in  state 
Towards  the  marble  palace  gate. 
Columbus  and  the  sovereign  pair, 
Moved  foremost  through  the  crowdedjsquare.

And  next  the  crew  tramped  through  the  town. 
With  sacks  and  bundle  loaded  down.

Bur  when  the  sailors  did  outpour, 
The  wonders  of  that  distant  shore, 


The  queen,  unused  to  stranjp  alanns, 
Fell  swooning  in  the  monarch's  arms.

And  bade  them  do  their  best  or  die. 
Then  full  five  hundred  couples  there 
Did  wildly  toss  their  limbs  in  air, 
To  music  of  a  loftier  strain 
Than  ever  had  been  heard  in  Spain.
